    Foxbody (5.0) engine mount distance question (for owners w/o engines or bare K-frames)

    Title more or less alludes to what I'm after, but here's the full scoop: I'm looking to getting into a ridiculously obscure project that may involve an LS swap (or the "World's Most Boring Engine Swap That Need Not Be Named™" if you prefer), and - as odd as this may sound - I don't think anyone...

    4-leaf springs - 250lb rate?

    I know Q will probably beat me over the head for this, but before I go ahead and frame table my '71 Mach to verify whether I've got a tweaked framerail or not (long story - check the build thread for details), I figured I might as well swap the rear leafs - just to make sure the slight squatting...

    I finally got my favorite license plate.

    Since it's been what, three years since I've touched Soylent Green (the '71), I figured that I ought to get it a license plate. And a license plate frame. Very special ones, I might add... Los Angeles City Ford: 614 HSO by cudak888, on Flickr 614 HSO by cudak888, on Flickr Los Angeles City...

    Went to a yard sale and picked up some vintage speed parts.

    For better or worse, it's almost all Chevy stuff, but I sure as hell had fun when this popped out of nowhere. A few of these bits were outside when I arrived at the sale - a few questions yielded the rest. Turns out the fellow raced IMSA GT from '77-87, and the parts have been mothballed ever...

    Alamo's new Rent a Classic

    Pretty good April Fools gag. Almost believed it too. https://www.alamo.com/en_US/car-rental/home.html "Thank you, I'll take one of these please:" -Kurt

    Any interest in a half-finished '71 M-code project for $7,000?

    Seeing as I haven't really had the time to get back to my '71 and button the back end up (and I seem to catch the never-ending office cold every weekend to prevent me from doing so), I'm seriously considering parting with the car. That, and there's a cinema camera on eBay that I most definitely...

    Guess the movie Mustang...

    All right, this isn't even difficult, but I had to brag about the latest find: Now all I need is a nice little 614 HSO California plate to place in it. Mind you, this frame is not 100% correct - but it is good enough for now. The screen-used frames from the film use this alternate casting...

    Found this on Craigslist. WANT!

    '70-1/2 Falcon, and it looks intact. Deceptively intact. Might have to go see this one myself, even though I'm knee deep in the '68 Satellite: http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/5292867908.html Opinions? Never really looked up the values of the half-breed, Torinoesque, mid-year Falcons. -Kurt

    Carter carb with (gasp) Mopar linkage?

    Nosing around to see if anyone might have a Carter or Edelbrock kicking around that would suit the 360 engine that I just put in my '68 Plymouth more-door. I installed one of Summit's beautiful 600cfm Street and Strip carbs on it, but nice as it is, the ex-Holley/Motorcraft design plays much...

    Plug pigtail off GM HEI pickup coil

    This isn't exactly a Ford part, but I'm tinkering with a GM HEI conversion, and need the pigtail off a GM HEI distributor pickup coil to plug the wires onto the side with the mini spade terminal. Figured there's no reason to buy a nice HEI pickup coil when someone here might have a junker which...

    Funniest arsehole eBay seller ever.

    Thought I'd share this with you fellows (and also rant a bit). I bought a used distributor on eBay last week. It arrived yesterday evening, in a box padded with foam that must have been soaked in used motor oil and rat piss at one time. To put it bluntly: It stunk to living hell. The smell...

    Saginaw power steering pumps: Need rebuild help

    Hello fellows: Though not all of our cars came with them, I know most of us have probably had a Ford (or just about anything) with the GM Saginaw TC spam-can power steering pump. I'm at a bit of a quandary on my first rebuild of one - which has now evolved into the dissection of three...

    Best cylinder head boxes ever

    Thought I'd share this little tidbit - my office gets these Canon GPR-31 color (B&W mulit-packs are wider) toner multi-package boxes in whenever we have to replace toner. These things are ULTRA strong, double-ply cardboard, and are perfectly suited to shipping one cylinder head each in...

    One more found: Wrecked Sprint coupe #2F01H189507 (on Florida/Broward Craigslist)

    Looks like a fun, utterly over-the-top project for someone willing to have the back end pulled out on a frame table: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/5071155104.html Also appears from the exterior panels not to be too much of a rot box. Heck, if one is willing to fix that back end...
